Re: The National Black Police Association

The membership is open to anyone who supports the aims of the association; which is to advocate and advance the interests of black and minority ethnic police officers. It is exempt from certain provisions of the race relations act because it is clearly stated to be an voluntary association to support and speak for a minority ethnic interest.

The Race Relation Act exemptions are there to provide safe spaces for minority interests, I see nothing wrong with this.

The same cannot be said of a political party (BNP or any other) which seeks the power, by democratic means, to impose its will over the entire populous. Such a group must, as a democratic necessity, be open to all members of the electorate over which it seeks power.

At present the BNP mebership criteria excludes any consituent who is not white-skinned. This is intolerable.

As soon as the unlawful exclusions are removed (as I assume the BNP will feel forced to comply with the law, wishing not to be proscribed), then all fair-minded people of all flesh-tones can join and vote at AGM to close it down or reform it totally - The British Floral Party or something harmless.

I can't wait.

Now I think on it, why should all fair-minded white-skinned people not join tomorrow, outnumber the existing membership and sort the whole wretched lot out?
